We implement and optimize a particle-swap Monte Carlo algorithm that allows us to
thermalize a polydisperse system of hard spheres up to unprecedentedly large volume …

The configurational entropy is one of the most important thermodynamic quantities
characterizing supercooled liquids approaching the glass transition. Despite decades of …

Hyperuniformity characterizes a state of matter that is poised at a critical point at which
density or volume-fraction fluctuations are anomalously suppressed at infinite wavelengths …

We numerically study the jamming transition of frictionless polydisperse spheres in three
dimensions. We use an efficient thermalisation algorithm for the equilibrium hard sphere …

The Gardner transition is the transition that at mean-field level separates a stable glass
phase from a marginally stable phase. This transition has similarities with the de Almeida …

The simplicity of a quasi-one-dimensional system of hard disks enables us to get a much
deeper and more quantitative insight into the solid-to-fluid transformation and identify it as …

Using transfer matrices up to next-nearest-neighbour interactions, we examine the structural
correlations of quasi-one-dimensional systems of hard disks confined by two parallel lines …

We have studied a class of marginally jammed states in a system of hard disks confined in a
narrow channel—a quasi-one-dimensional system—whose exponents are not those …

The canonical NLT partition function of a quasi-one dimensional (q1D) one-file system of
equal hard disks Pergamenshchik [19] provides an analytical description of the …

Disks moving in a narrow channel have many features in common with the glassy behavior
of hard spheres in three dimensions. In this paper we study the caging behavior of the disks …
